The Orthodoxy Of Epiphany

And, with this, I really do wrap up Christmastide. For today is the celebration of Epiphany in the Eastern Orthodox Church, which both never switched from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian one that most of us use and celebrates Epiphany as the day of Jesus’ baptism of Jesus by John the Forerunner in the River Jordan rather than the arrival of the three Magi.

I sort of wonder if Biden’s handling of sensitive material will start a banking trend, at least amongst Democrats. 😆

Seems about right. And yes; I know a lot of you these days won’t get it because you’re both not and have never really known a blue-collar man.

It’s unknown to us today how MLK really felt about interracial marriages and mixed-race families – when a Black Woman was involved. But that, in and of itself, doesn’t mean that we should avoid such in our progress towards and integrated future. But such needed progress takes to, at the very least.

So, if we’re going to bring the Dream to fruition, we’re going to need Black women to step up and join with us to do so.

Since it’s once again Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, it seems to me to be the most appropriate time to remind all you, my fellow White Men, that Orthocegenation is the best way to reach the goals of equality. Providing Black Women with our children and our support as fathers to those children are actionable affirmations that we are all Americans and all committed to a better, brighter future for those children.

The arc of justice may be long, but we can shorten it. So, do the Right, White thing and include Black women in your reproductive choices and, all else being equal, choose them as them as mothers of your children. Indeed, if you accept the need for equity, prioritize your choice of them for motherhood. Remember, by diversifying our fatherhood we spread – dare I say redistribute? – our privilege, thereby reducing the gap between races.
